OAK BLUFFS — Second-seeded Martha's Vineyard began its run to a second straight South Sectional boys tennis championship with a sweep of No. 7 Norwell, 5-0, Monday on the Island.

The Vineyarders, now 15-1, will take on No. 3 Cohasset on Wednesday at 3 p.m. On the other side of the bracket, top-seeded Westport, which the Vineyard beat for the South title last season, also advanced to the semifinals.

Martha's Vineyard went on to win the Division 3 state championship last year.

Barnstable 5, North Attleboro 0: It was business as usual for the top-seeded Red Raiders, who continue to steam roll opponents in the Div. 1 boys tournament.

On Monday, ninth-seeded North Attleboro managed to win just nine games in the five matches played in Hyannis.

While Barnstable's first two team matches were lopsided wins, things should get considerably more difficult on Wednesday when the Red Raiders host fifth-seeded Wellesley in the South Div. 1 semifinals.

In doubles play, only North Attleboro's first team of Connor Roberts and Siddadh Sentbilkumarn managed a game, losing 6-0, 6-1 to the top Barnstable tandem of Colby Blaze and Donnie Brodd.

Barnstable's second doubles team of Cooper Blaze and Cooper Hesse blanked the North Attleboro duo of Jeff Yao and Zachery Pfeiffer, 6-0, 6-0.

Foxboro 3, Falmouth 2: Both doubles teams came out on top for the Clippers, but Foxboro swept the singles and that was the difference in the Div. 2 quarterfinal match at Foxboro.

The No. 2 Warriors improve to 17-1 and advance to the semifinals on Wednesday while the seventh-seeded Clippers finish 15-4.

Falmouth's Marysia Moskal and Holly O'Sullivan beat Sophia Jaberi and Morgan Noender by a score of 6-3, 6-2, while Jackie Grinell and Emily Maness beat Reece Martignetti and Michaela McCarthy with the same score.

Caroline Cobb, Sarah Monteiro and Corrine McGillicuddy played well in the singles matches but all came out on the short end to Foxboro.
